Gale Banks twin turbo with around 1150 hp. Ya know, in case it's needed.


possibly the best underhood designed areas I've seen. Equal or better to anything I've seen from Trapanier, Foose, Boyd, etc etc




That is one sweet curved surface


Above seems to nail the shot I wanted... the word, the turbo, the curves...



Marvelous interior. Cows ought to be happy to become steaks and leather, I'd like to think it's the best possible use for them... if you've ever been on a farm or ranch, you might agree they aren't that wonderful in life, and effin great when made into steaks and leather.

ok, not a posed photo, and I bet someone got slugged for taking a picture of her butt in the air... but a cool photo.

Get the rest of the story though, Sarah's mom bought her a Model A and started restoring it for her, around 1967, tore it apart and was getting progress made, joined the Model A club and had a great time, and then her husband died.

Sarah says the hobby probably helped her cope, and in her own words "Oh yeah she bought a Duesenberg with leather straps over the engine for $200 that was in somebody's shed, but sold it for $700. I would go with Mamma to the junkyards and was her 'spotter' for old cars, I was taller than she was...She kept saying she must have been crazy to buy it, but she had always wanted a Duesenberg like Dolores del Rio.

Yup she was pretty awesome 
"


wow. That has to be the only Duesy bought and sold by a mom who was into old cars. Who ever heard of another?
